go beyond recall.<br />

Synthesis:<br />

Evaluation:<br />

create/design …<br />

What would the result be if you combined…<br />

Even when you pitch your questions at a particular level your<br />

students may not answer at the same level. Restating your<br />

question while emphasizing the type of answer expected might<br />

lead students <strong>to</strong> begin thinking at higher levels. Once again, when<br />

students understand what is expected they will perform better.<br />
